Best Dressed: Oscars Edition! Oh yeah, and some Gaga

It's been a crazy couple of weeks. I've been meaning to update, no really, I have several drafts waiting to be posted. However family obligations split me between NY, MA, and NH. But I'm finally back in the city and away from the several feet of snow that New Hampshire has on the ground right now.

It's been a crazy couple of days. Gaga released her video for Born This Way today. You can watch it HERE at Refinery 29. I have to say I love her message. I think that she is so well spoken and I truly love her confidence when she's making any sort of public appearance. I also have to say, that if I had a body like hers I wouldn't wear pants in public either.

And, just in case you were living under a rock, last night millions of viewers watched The 83rd Academy Awards.

This was the first year I really wanted to see all of the films that were up for best picture. Unfortunately I didn't get to watch them all before The Oscars.

But, who really watches to see who wins these days anyway? I have to say, I didn't think there weren't too many misses. Not that I agree with all of the fashion choices that were made though.

On that note here are the best dressed in my opinion.

Hailee Steinfeld in Marchesa. She looked age appropriate, and can I just say I wish I could sketch my dream dress and have a designer make it for me!

Jennifer Lawrence in Calvin Klein. Simple and sleek. I think she was definitely ready to step away from her character in Winter's Bone.

Jennifer Hudson in Atelier Versace. Damn girl, show off your new bod!

Halle Berry in Marchesa.

Mila Kunis in Elie Saab.

Natalie Portman in Rodarte

Hilary Swank in Gucci.
Annette Bening in Naeem Khan. She always looks timeless.

Anne Hathaway got to enjoy EIGHT different gowns last night. Okay, seven and a custom made tux. She looked great in all of them! However this Oscar de la Renta was my favorite.








And the worst dressed...

Cate Blanchett in Givenchy Couture.

Nicole Kidman in Dior.

Amy Adams in L'Wren Scott. Although the $1.35 MILLION in Cartier emerald and diamond jewelry that she wore was beautiful it didn't match very well. Plus the cap sleeves were not flattering! I hate saying this because I love Amy Adams I think she looks lovely most of the time.

So those are my picks! Who were your favs of the night? Did you agree with those that took home the Oscar?

Happy Valentines Day...and Top 2 Tuesday

I know, it's been two weeks with out an blog entry from me. I'm sorry. Work has owned me these past few weeks.

ANYWAY. It's Tuesday! Okay, not really. Tomorrow is Tuesday. But you're getting my Top 2 Tuesday entry a day early.

And in honor of last night....Top 2 Favorite Grammy Dresses

J Lo in Emilio Pucci.
HOT DAMN.

Lea Michele in, again, Emilio Pucci.
She's always one of my favs on the red carpet.


And while we're on best dressed, I must take a moment to point out the worst dressed, at least in my opinion.

Rhianna in Jean Paul Gaultier.
I'm sorry but did you go to a Christmas blow out sale and buy all the white garland?

Top 2 Tuesday

Top 2 Things You've Learned About Friendship.

1. Distance doesn't make a difference. My life is split between two places, New York City and Bumblefuck, Massachusetts. After moving to New York for college this was one of greatest lessons in friendships I have learned. I'm lucky enough to say that one of my dearest friends, Leanna, recently moved to New York. However, three of my oldest, closest friends don't live near me, at all. And I'm lucky if I see them once a year. It's not the quantity it's the quality of time spent with the people you care about. This was one of the hardest lessons for me to learn, and something that I had to hear from a lot of people I thought were my friends after I moved.

2. People Make Mistakes. We're not all perfect. Cliche, I know. There are sometimes that friendship is more give then take. People make bad choices, choose significant others over friendship, say hurtful words. True friends can always forgive.

I've been friends with these girls for as long as I can remember and many of my first memories about friendship involve them. Distance and time apart have only made us stronger.
